========= Killing Ground LYRICS ==========
Frozen ground
Ride with the wind
Emerge from the gunsmoke like demons
Rehnskiöld’s men
Charging their flanks
The enemy trembles with fear
One by one the Saxons disband
Or die where they stand
Killing ground
Even though you surrender
Turn around
You will never survive
Killing ground
At the battle of Fraustadt
Fall in line
Battle formations
Show no fear
Riding them down
Break their will
Show them no mercy
Caroleans attack
Round them up, look into their eyes
They beg for their lives
See the Caroleans standing tall
All for one and one for all
Enemies fall at their feet
Begging for their mercy
See the Caroleans standing tall
Conquer lands and slaughter all
Enemies fall at their feet
Victory and great defeat
========= Historic Fact ==========
During the Battle of Fraustadt, the Swedish forces faced an army almost twice its size and were victorious. On that day the Swedes showed the world its superiority during battle.

I have a report for History tomorrow. And this is a great topic.
Sabaton is the best Swedish Power Metal band
Avantasia is the beast German Power Metal band
Dragonforce is the best british Power Metal Band
Dark Moor is the best Spanish Power Metal Band
Beast in Black is the beast Finland Power Metal band
I love how Killing Ground ends and seedlessly transitions into Poltava. From The Swedish Empire's greatest victory to its most disastrous defeat.
This battle wasnt necessarily the Swedish Empire's greatest victory but it was one of the earliest decisive victories of the great northern war that established Sweden as a formidable force.
The Swedish version of the song has a much bigger emphasis on the attrocities committed by Swedish forces to the captured enemies
(not my translation):
"See how the Russians surrender, Begging for mercy
Mass murder, not heroism
Caroleans take revenge
honor is lost."
I like to think the brutality shown by the Swedish is perhaps one of the contributing factors that motivated their enemies to keep fighting despite losing so badly time and time again. Eventually this would culminate in the disastrous Battle of Poltava that effectively neutered Swedish military might. The Russians simply returned "an eye for an eye"
That... is not in any way, shape, or form what the song is about. It's literally about war crimes. It's not even subtle.
"Even though you surrender... you will never survive."
@@m0nkEz Though I don't know Swedish according to translations I found the swedish version says things like "Honor forgotten" and "The swedes break the war code"
Damn, you're right. There's the same chorus on the end of the "killing ground" and the beggining of "Poltava"
Sabaton is literally the cool history teacher

I always thought that the English and Swedish songs from Carolus Rex were quite identical. Today I learnt, they are not. The English version almost glorifies the battle and Swedish heroism while the Swedish version deals with the far more severe topic of war crimes. Fascinating!
And they both sound great.
I'm curious if Swedish history paints a different light on the battle, than English/USA historians?
@@corystewart4081 I assume you are from the US? How is the battle's perception in the US? And what makes you think there's a difference?
@@Haldir3003 there is no perception of it in the US. The only battle from the Great Northern War I recall learning about in AP European History was Narva.
@@m0nkEzour class talked about Narva when my teacher started rambling on about underdog stories and he said Narva. Never went over as topic though.
The Caroleans really are one of history’s most under-appreciated fighting forces. Sure they only had a 40 year heyday, but they were truly elite soldiers. This whole album and this song in particular give them the recognition they absolutely deserve.
I think less people heard of the black army
I will admit there one of my favorite unites in Civ 5. its shame my knowledge of them was so limited for so long.
The Caroleans were considered one of the best units during their prime, because of their fearlessness, devotion to The Lord, being able to win battles against armies twice their own (which Killing Ground shows due to covering the Battle of Fraustadt) and the fact they used PIKE formations in an era of muskets
@@regalblade8171 Yes and their ability to walk under fire about 10m away enemy line before firing devastating volley on enemy line followed by melee charge.
@@Juhnimus the enemies has horrible hit rate because "Strong Faith", "Reputation" and "Discipline" lowered it to such a degree
Sabaton should be played in history lessons at schools. I've collectively learned more from Sabaton than the entire Education System.
Ye someone will start crying abt it for sure
Yeah but some students would walk out because "ow I don't like this music, turn it off, I can't listen to this" then they would just walk out. Kids these days will are never being taught about what real music and where it comes from. Thank the Parents who are overprotective
@@animecore85 What should people make of those parents who apparently have the legal authority to outright forbid their children from learning about certain subjects like evolution?
@@animecore85 ok then they can put in earplugs and read.
@@blackorcshagrat8587 yeah but as a species because of parenting these days a lot of kids are afraid of music from Rock/Heavy metal cause they always say "they give me a headache" which translate to "I can't listen to this music
As a kid, my great grandfather sparked a love of history with his tales of his time in the British Homeguard during WW2.
Then as a teenager school was hell bent on extinguishing that interest, that passion!
I'm glad I found sabaton in my 20s to reignite that passion!
Especially carolus. School barely covered our own history, they really didn't bother with world history. Hastings, the somme and D Day. That was your lot in my school!
Soon as time travel is invented I'll take my sabaton cds to my teenage self and say "Here, thank me later!"
We're glad to have you on board Mike
same here, the thing i got told was about and from the Nazi side. i am a Swede, my fathers family side is German ( few generations ), my grandfather´s brother lived in Germany joined the SS early on. and fled to Swede as many Germans did in the end of the war. and after the war. He told me a lot of stuff then i was young.
@NiclasHorn My grandfather was one of the many Nazi Germany sympathizers in Sweden during WW2. Was involved in some organized youth movement. His tales made it very clear to me that there was so much more such sympathizers in our country than our history books and media gives the image of.. times before the world knew the crimes and horrors revealed in the post war era
In Australia, you get Gallipoli. Not even the Western Front!
Fun fact: the picture on the Video is from a Movie scene of the Battle Of Poltava, One Swedish Soldier dual wielding a sword and his musket was rampaging the Russian Line during the Swedish Charge, until A Russian Soldier stabs him in the Back, that soldier must've have a good time rampaging until some Russian Guy says "Sorry Man, but Peter Told me to Do it"
I thought i was the only one who recognized it!
@@thelonelyghostK pff
i am still mad tho, ending his killstreak like that.
I said that too but the British empire got more attention
Similar to people when we say “Swedish empire”
Кадр из фильма "Слуга Государев", шикарная постановка Полтавской битвы. Сабатону - величайший респект!
Хоть песня об убийстве русских пленных, на видео - именно подлый русский закалывает в спину каролинера. Уж не знаю, что именно хотели сказать этим Сабатоны, то ли сгладить впечатление от военного преступления, о котором поется в песне, то ли подменить понятия.
@@danwoort8953 тот же вопрос
@@danwoort8953 ну, объективно, шведы тогда вообще были те еще "лапочки". но картинка да, очень странная.
@@danwoort8953 Очевидно, картинка напоминает, что после Фрауштада была Полтава и конец Шведской империи.
@@danwoort8953 на войне в спину врагу нельзя? Нужно попросить повернуться)))
Killing ground is one of Sabaton‘s underrated song, I love listening to it, happy to have lyrics video now.
never thought i’d see a “historic metal” band but here came sabaton! got into their stuff about 2-3 months ago and this song is one of my personal favorites, behind 1916, long live the king and stormtroopers. keep this up! your music not only inspires, but educates. night witches was the reason i started more research on the soviet union! props to you all.
Sabaton was hardly the first.
Iron maiden were historically inspired as well.
One of my favourite songs from Carolus Rex, especially Swedish version. Who am I kidding, every song from this album is my favourite!
As Swede i have to say i'm very proud Sabaton is from my country. Tack så mycket Sabaton
As you should, though I wouldn't be proud of the particular moment in history the song describes haha Sweden is awesome though
@belisarius_ as a fellow swede i couldn't agree more. Länge leve Sabaton
So many people forget about how powerful the Swedish empire actually was. Thank god Sabaton exists
I just found your music a few days ago and I CAN'T STOP!!! SABATON FOREVER!!! ☦
You're most welcome on board!
I can hear an error in the chorus:
The text reads "At the Battle of Fraustadt."
The vocals say "As the Battle of Fraustadt turns."
Yes I second this. Still a masterpiece of course, but a correction may be good.
i mean that's so elongated and loud that it sounds like "charge" as much as it does "turns" so i guess it'd be up to the listener's interpretation
@@mattheww3232 Well, whichever it actually is, it doesn't show up in the video's lyrics.
@@Myomer104 ah well
„See the Caroleans standing tall,
All for one and one for all,
Enemies fall at their feet,
Begging for their mercy”
These lines are still very catchy, love this song! 👌🔥
this surely has to be one of my favorite songs about commiting war crimes!
My Hero Academia moment.
I agree, but would also like to say that the English version doesn't capture the clarity of the Swedish version in this part. It still mentions the atrocities commited, just in a slightly toned down way.
@Hannah Smith is a consecuence of being fan of that anime.
Великолепно! Сабатон в очередной раз очень порадовали меня и я уверен,что не только меня.Парни,вы лучшие!Желаю вам дальнейшего процветания и вдохновения!
В очередной раз порадовали чем? Халтурным клипом на песню десятилетней давности?
@@theodortemplar2881 Это не клип
Never heard this one, glad they're releasing videos of old songs.
Listen to Swedish version, there is a lyric video with translation on RUclips. It's even better and it gives another perspective on this battle and what Caroleans did to their prisoners
One of my all time favourite songs!!!!!!

I've never heard this song before, there are no words to describe this song it's so awesome. Thanks a lot for the lyric video and the song.
their carolus rex album is filled with these
Thank you for supporting us!
"Killing ground, even though you surrender" Very nice people indeed.
Only russians were executed. Saxons survived the capture, as I remember. Definitely not without reasons, heh.
@@OlgaH1999 IIRC, the Saxons were killed too, because some Russian soldiers turned their coats inside out to look like Saxon soldiers
@@ladywaffle2210 Nope. The letter from Rehnsköld, written a short while after the fact, makes it clear the russians were the victims. He explains that no quarter could be given due to the amount of prisoners and the battle still being in full effect.
The Enemy General told his men “show no mercy and take no prisoners” first, once you throw that gauntlet down their is no taking it back. “Oh apparently we’re getting our dicks kicked in by the Swedes, just kidding about the whole no mercy thing”
To be fair, the Geneva Convention hadn't happened yet
"At Fraustadt the Swedish army faced an opponent almost twice as strong as a man. That day we showed the world not only our superiority in battle but also
How cruel man can be in war." - Carl Gustav Rehnskiöld
Swedish Ver. Translation
Frozen land
A cold bitten army
Born like demons from gunpowder smokes
Rehnskiöld's men
Storming their flanks
Feared is his name in battle!
One by one, the Saxon men flee to home
Death waits for them!
Spilling blood
Meeting their death at Fraustadt
Gushing flood
Through the enemy lines
Spilling blood
No mercy will be given, there!
Stand in lines!
Eye to eye!
Show courage!
Battle formation!
Doomsday!
Do not fear death!
Caroleans to battle!
Down on their knees, there's no mercy
They plead for their lives!
Spilling blood
Meeting their death at Fraustadt
Gushing flood
Through the enemy lines
Spilling blood
No mercy will be given, there!
See how the Russians surrender, pleading for mercy
Swedens breaks the code of war
Caroleans take their revenge
Slaughtering their prisoners
See how the Russian surrender, pleading for mercy
Mass murder, not heroism
Caroleans take their revenge
Honor is lost
One by one, the Saxon men flee to home
Death waits for them!
Spilling blood
Meeting their death at Fraustadt
Gushing flood
Through the enemy lines
Spilling blood
No mercy will be given, there!
Spilling blood
Meeting their death at Fraustadt
Gushing flood
Through the enemy lines
Spilling blood
No mercy will be given, there!
Sabaton SHOULD make other songs about Asia, like Indonesia during the Indonesian National Revolution, or the Chinese in war against the Japanese, maybe India fighting the Japanese at Burma. Anyways, Sabaton songs is literally one of the best at explaining the lore of history!
Like the Battle of Manila in WW2 since it's the Asia's Stalingrad
Battle of Shanghai, Ankara or Wuhan maybe?
@@Dr.-Wind-from-the-EC The Battle of Shanghai is also a good pick since its the Chinese Stalingrad
@@CountryBallHistorian Exactly, maybe the Sakarya or Ankara battles for Turkey since they are our stalingrad? So many good picks from asia. Maybe the battles in the phillipines.
@@Dr.-Wind-from-the-EC I also hope that SABATON can make a song about the Battle of Yultong and about the Turkish war of Indenpendence
The opening gives strong "The Trooper" vibes
Love it
Like how I love your mom
Very good song
One of my songs that I love the most. They should have your songs listened to in schools so kids would study history much more willingly and at the same time listen to great music 🤘🤘🎶🎶🎸
The way he says "Demons" at the start of the song always hits so hard.
Another amazing track, great music and lyrics!!! Absolutely amazing for me!!! Thank you Sabaton 💪🤟😊😉
Thank you for your support Jerry!
Как всегда ШИКАРНО! СПАСИБО, ребята. Спасибо "SABATON"! 👍👍

Awsome, as always!
i absolutely love this song, this song and a few others are my favorites, im not from Sweden but makes me proud for that country.
Is it me or is Sabaton releasing all of the songs about Sweden again?
I think they're giving new lyric videos to their Carouls Rex album
@@rawchicken3463 they are doing just that
The Battle of Fraustadt. Sweden vs Saxony and The Tsardom of Russia.
Sweden lead by Carl Gustaf Rehnskiöld had 9400 men (3700 infantry, 5700 cavalry). Saxony & Russia lead by Johann Matthias von der Schulenburg had 20000 men (16000 infantry, 4000 cavalry, 32 artillery pieces).
Sweden won while only losing 1500 men (452 killed, 1077 wounded). Saxony & Russia lost 15000 men (7377 killed, 7300-7900 captured).
Was listening to this album this afternoon while driving!
So I just showed Sabaton to my little brother. He said the vocalist sounds like Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob 💀
joakim x mr krabs
Never a bad song with sabaton!!
If this was the open song of a tv show who would watch it
I've waited for this one for so long. Blood love this song!
I can't stop hearing it. Thanks a lot.
And I read about this battle

Thank you!
Finally! Thank you!
Another amazing song as always. Sabaton I live by them. Greetings and congratulations from the Czech Republic🇨🇿
good job Sabaton
I like to use the music in my imagination to think of myself as a war hero
I Just love that song! Cheers from Hungary!!!🇭🇺
Only downside of sabaton, is that there isn’t more than there already is
Indeed
Hell yeah, wonderful song
Glory to the Russian auxiliary corps, that despite the betrayal of the Saxons (who began to flee from the battlefield), the French and Swiss mercenaries (who immediately surrendered and turned their weapons against the former allies) put up fierce resistance to the enemy and the surviving remnants of which still managed to break through and retreat.
What are you talking about?
Most of the russians were cut to pieces by the swedes and the finns as revenge for the horror the russians were carrying out in Finland.
The solo is so amazing!
Sabaton I think you already know what I think of your videos! can't even put what I think about sabaton into words.Too amazing!
Thank you Kate
I love how old song get new vids. I love this style
Sabaton won't want us to miss a detail on that picture of a Sweedish soldier
